Technical Support / PAW not receiving traffic

« on: February 28, 2021, 11:35:33 am »

New Rosetta install with "internal" antenna kit.  All of the icons on the home page showing "green", power OK, GPS fix etc etc.  Antennas mounted on the glareshield.

The traffic page is only showing two or three very local aircraft - it isn't picking up any of the high altitude CAT traffic that I would expect it to see (this was yesterday (Saturday) at Goodwood, I had a look on FR24 and there was enough out there that I would have expected at least a handful of of airliners shown).

I don't suspect a specific install issue at this stage as it was the same when we got it out of the box for a system check and had the antennas on the roof of the truck.

I did try swapping the antennas around (so that they were connected to the wrong outputs) and picked up a couple of extra aircraft but it wasn't a particularly definitive test of anything.

Any ideas of what to check next time I can get to the aircraft?

Thanks

Technical Support / How can I tell if MLAT is working?

« on: November 12, 2019, 12:01:27 pm »

I'm based at an airfield with an OGN-R station (Popham) but still see more bearingless traffic than I would expect and not a huge amount of traffic with a location.

I'm using Pilotaware "Classic" with the latest software and Skydemon.

How can I check whether I am receiving OGN-R / MLAT traffic?

Thanks

Technical Support / PAW Classic not receiving 1090 transponder traffic

« on: October 29, 2019, 06:36:10 am »

I have a PAW Classic which has been installed for most of this year and has been working fine. I noticed that I wasn't seeing much traffic and on investigation found out that that connection for the external 1090 antenna had come undone so connected it back up.  I'm still not seeing 1090 transponder transmissions.  I've tried using the standard antenna, have had the box apart to make sure that the connector isn't broken internally, reconnected all of the connectors etc but still nothing.

Any suggestions?
